If it was going to screw something up, it would have already.

If it looks good now, you're fine.

You're fine. However, one thing to be wary of with tinted windows is that the car will scratch them up when you roll them up and down, unless the installer put felt inside your door panels. Mine have huge vertical scratches.

I don't remember the details since it's been so long since I read about it - but that only happens on specific cars. It was like Sedans or Coupes and before X year if I recall.

This doesn't happen on my '07 Coupe.

If the tint did not lift or tear you should be fine. The 24hrs is to make sure the adhesive dries.
